Jack White is speaking out after President Donald Trump made controversial remarks about Los Angeles and San Diego during a campaign rally in Nebraska.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday (Oct. 6), the White Stripes co-founder directly addressed Republicans and conservatives living in the two Southern California cities, asking how they felt about Trump supposedly suggesting that Iran could attack them.

“Hey republicans and conservatives that live in L.A. and San Diego; how do you feel about your Fuhrer recommending that the cities you live in get attacked?” White wrote alongside a screenshot of Trump’s remarks. “Click the video I reposted and watch for yourself. Listen to the cult members CLAPPING and cheering for this.”

White then anticipated how Trump supporters would respond to his statement, writing, “Let me take a wild guess: it was a joke, owning the libs, insert cult rhetoric here, etc.”

“The allegiance these people have to this corrupt felon is so laughable and ignorant,” he continued. “That’s right, a U.S. ‘President’ that recommended that two major cities in our country be bombed because they don’t give total allegiance to his ego.”

Trump made these remarks on Monday night (Oct. 5) during a campaign rally in Grand Island, Nebraska, while discussing the ongoing U.S. conflict with Iran and the impact of the war on prices. Trump described the economic consequences as “a small price to pay for keeping the world safe, keeping our country safe” before saying, “They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego. This is a very small price to pay.” The crowd could be heard cheering following the comments.

The White House has pushed back on the interpretation of Trump’s remarks. Communications director Steven Cheung and the administration’s rapid-response accounts argued that Trump was discussing the potential threat Iran could pose if it were able to develop a nuclear weapon, rather than advocating for an attack on American cities.

White, however, rejected that framing in his post.

“Imagine any other President or elected official in history saying this,” he wrote. “False flag incoming anyone? Just wait till next month when he begins enacting illegal measures to not allow democracy at the polls to prevail when the right lose badly in the midterm elections.”

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The Worst American of All Time,” he concluded, adding the hashtag #TWAAT.

Offset is once again finding himself in some trouble at a casino.

This time, he was captured on video arguing with staff at a Paris casino. In a video sent to TMZ, the Atlanta rapper can be seen telling pit bosses that he feels like he’s being treated unfairly and shouldn’t be because of the money that he’s spending. According to ‘Set, casino staff was allowing randoms to take spots at tables the rapper reserved with a “disposable card.”

“You don’t speak English, you’re not listening to me,” he can be heard saying in the clip. “If I play here, and I put the disposable card, nobody should f—ing play my hands, bro. Listen, this is not the little kids… this is high-limit. Nobody touch my sh– … I put the disposable card and he’s letting people play for me in my spot. I’m betting $10,000, I’m winning! I beat y’all out of $200,000… I will f—ing leave, but the problem is, I’m betting high, you need to treat me like how I’m betting. I’m betting more than anybody in this motherf—er. Why the f— are people getting my seats?

He added: “They shouldn’t be playing at my table, bro. I beat y’all a–es tonight, I got $200,000. I’ll just go home. It don’t make no f—ing sense, bro.”

Back in April, Offset was shot outside the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida, after an alleged altercation with Lil Tjay’s crew.

In better news, he buried the hatchet with childhood friend and fellow Migos member Quavo. Offset was featured on Quavo’s latest solo album QRÖMELIFE and the two have plans for one last Migos album and a tour together.

Hayley Williams isn’t backing down on her beliefs.

The Paramore frontwoman had a simple message for the Department of Homeland Security after she shouted “F–k ICE” and “Free Palestine” during her recent concert in Chula Vista, California. DHS responded to the singer’s remarks through a statement to Fox News, saying that Americans should be grateful for federal law enforcement officers and suggesting that the singer “thank them for their service, not belittle their sacrifice.”

Williams shared the department’s statement to her Instagram Story on Monday (Oct. 5), adding her own decidedly less diplomatic response. “And may I suggest all Nazi bi—es suck on my fat di–,” Williams wrote.

The singer’s onstage comments came during a performance of “Ice in My OJ,” a track from her 2025 solo album Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party. Williams has incorporated political commentary into her current live show, including a statement before performing “True Believer” in which she declares that “the greatest threat to American democracy is Christian nationalism.”

As the longtime frontwoman of Paramore, Williams has helped lead the band to major chart success, including a pair of No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: 2013’s Paramore and 2023’s This Is Why.

Williams’ solo career has also made an impact on the Billboard charts. Ego Death at a Bachelorette Party followed her 2020 solo debut Petals for Armor and 2021’s FLOWERS for VASES / decansos, all of which landed on the Billboard 200 chart.

Meanwhile, Williams has plenty more on the horizon. She is among the artists set to perform at the 2027 edition of Primavera Sound Barcelona, where she will share the bill with Doechii, Phoebe Bridgers, FKA Twigs, Fontaines D.C., Turnstile, Massive Attack, Robyn and more.

Too $hort felt the need to clear the air over the weekend. The Oakland rapper put out a lengthy statement apologizing for saying he would be going to Diddy’s coming-home party during a recent appearance on The TMZ Podcast.

“I’m going to the Puff Daddy ‘Coming Home’ party when he comes home,” he said after being asked if he thinks the embattled record executive will have a career once he gets out of prison. He then added that he’s not “judgmental” and suggested that, outside of the infamous Cassie hotel footage, Diddy probably shouldn’t be incarcerated while also insisting that he’s never been to a Diddy party that involved sex.

However, $hort Dawg has walked his previous statement back and posted an Instagram Reel on Sunday apologizing to anyone who felt offended by his words.

“I wanna thank all the people that called me yesterday, texted me, hit me up about this TMZ Puff Daddy thing. I was a little insensitive with my words,” the Bay Area rapper said. “I said that I didn’t condone what he did to Cassie, but I would go to his party if he came home, and I really didn’t know the full extent of the case. I did not know that there were a lot of women who had claimed that they had been abused by Puff Daddy, and how it affected them. I do not condone abuse in any kind of way. Not emotional, not physical, not sexual, and I don’t support anybody that does it. I wanna say, I’m sorry to the people that were hurt by the words that I said. I have listened, I have learned, I read up on it.”

He added: “I do not support abuse or abusers. And I just want to say I’m sorry for putting those words out there. If anything I said hurt anybody, I really do regret it. … When I say I’m going to go to his party, I was talking about the parties that he throws for his friends, not any party where it’s f—ing baby oil or some godd— sexual sh–. I’ve been to dozens of his parties and never once have I seen a naked person or a sexual act. … I hope that when my brother comes home that he has grown.”

Diddy was recently in the news after it was reported that he’s been figuring out how to live a lavish lifestyle behind bars with the help of certain inmates and prison staff.

Frequency of Love, the new album from Victoria Monét, tops this week’s new music poll.

Listeners voted in a poll published Friday (Oct. 2) on Billboard, choosing Monét’s sophomore full-length LP as their favorite new music.

The album topped new Friday music releases from Noah Kahan, Miranda Lambert, Drake and more. By the poll’s closing time on Sunday, Monét pulled in 40% of the vote.

Fans first got a taste of Frequency of Love, Monét’s follow-up to Jaguar II, through three early singles, “Let Me,” “Reach Out” and “Juicy.” The 22-track collection officially arrived on Oct. 2.

The album has a number of intriguing features, including one from her own daughter — who got a special shout-out from the singer on social media this weekend for her contribution to the song “You Mean the World to Me”: “Thank you for your patience and understanding and unconditional love while mommy was in school, while I made this album, every time I had to step out of the door without you and when work didn’t end once I got back home!” Monét wrote to 5-year-old Hazel on Saturday. “I am so honored to have you as a feature on this album (you sound soooo beautiful) and I am so proud of your growth in every way, your natural empathy, your humor, your respect, the way you love and your undeniable talent! Forevemore, it’s you and me baby.”

“You Mean the World to Me” also features Leon Thomas. Also on Monét’s new album: Lucky Daye, SZA, Bryson Tiller, Chlöe and Bruno Mars, whose Romantic Tour recently had Monet booked as a supporting act.

Following her spot as an opener on the road with Bruno Mars, she’s embarking on her own headlining Frequency of Love Tour this month, starting Oct. 27 in Raleigh, N.C., and running through mid-December.

Trailing behind Frequency of Love on the poll are Noah Kahan’s new single “Draw You Out,” with 29% of the vote, Miranda Lambert’s Crisco album, with nearly 7% of the vote, and Drake’s HABIBTI (FOMO) deluxe release, with almost 6% of the vote.
